The price is right, but the stomach pains are not worth it
I started taking these because I've always had low iron levels, and my doctor recommended taking an iron supplement. Most of them make me feel ill, even with a meal, so I decided to try a slow-acting one. The name-brand alternative to this one is extremely expensive, so I went with this brand. At first, everything seemed alright. I had a little more energy and felt better. After taking it for a few days, I started getting some pretty intense stomach pains and nausea. I started cutting things out of my diet to see if it would help, but it didn't. The pains would last all day, and I just felt awful and unable to do anything. I tried tums and pepto-bismol to see if that would alleviate anything, but no luck. Today, after several awful days, I decided to stop taking these iron pills to see if it would help. It was like magic. I've had zero stomach issues today, which makes me think that these pills were the cause of all my strife. While these did work as advertised for my energy levels, it is just not worth it for me. I'm sure they've worked for other people, but just keep in mind that if you're sensitive to iron supplements, they may not be for you. I gave them two stars because the price makes it worth a shot.
